A health care advocacy group wants the Ontario government to raise the minimum wage. Health Providers Against Poverty says the province needs a “livable minimum wage” of $14 an hour.

Dr Gary Bloch told a news conference at Queen’s Park, “I often say, you know what, we first need to focus in on your income and your precarious housing situation, and your child care situation, your social support situation, and I can spent hours dealing with that, and I do find actually that those are the interventions that end up improving that patient’s health.”

Ontario’s minimum wage has been frozen at $10.25 an hour for the past four years.
